With apparent ‘opening,’ U.S. and Russia extend Syria talks another day

Talks about talks on Syria provided no answers on Friday to the main question: Will the United States launch a military attack?

Yet the discussions in Geneva involving Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart did produce at least one result — what was supposed to be a two-day meeting has been extended to Saturday.

“If there was no opening, we wouldn’t still be here,” a senior State Department official said.
